I work in IT, site reliability engineering specifically, and although there is a lot in this book, it‘s valuable for those looking to succeed in this burgeoning technical field. It has occasional typos and grammatical errors, and a dearth of humor, but those who read this book probably aren‘t looking for that. Regardless, those factors don‘t detract from the content. A good high-level interview resource.
